Christopher Beard

ST. PAULS, N.C. A North Carolina widow is out thousands of dollars after a kitchen remodeling job went bad, and shes not the first person this happened to.

WTVD-TV reported that the man who was supposed to do the job and has been behind bars for doing this to homeowners before.

Kim Britt said she has nowhere to cook or even prepare a meal.

My counter tops have been set up on saw horses, Britt said.

Britt said it all started when she hired Christopher Beard of Precision Flooring and Restoration to redo her kitchen floor.

He came out on Labor Day and started working, removing my floor, Brett said. Then he found water damage. He said he could fix it, so I just let him go ahead with the job.

Britt said she paid Beard close to $3,000 to do the job, but the job kept getting bigger. She said Beard kept adding in more to it by saying he would give her nice cabinets and a design on her flooring.

On top of all the add-ons, Britt said Beard also brought out a plumber, Samuel Twine, to help out with the job. Between Beard and Twine, Britt paid the two men more than $8,000.

Britt says despite the money paid, it was tough to get Beard and Twine on the job. She said there were often days when Beard wouldnt show up work.

Remodeling a kitchen is intimidating to most homeowners. From cabinetry to appliances to surfaces to floors to furniture, dollar signs pop up everywhere. Deciding whether to keep existing cabinets or rip them up can have a big impact on both the design and the bottom line. If they are made of solid wood and in excellent condition, consider doing your redesign around them.

Some clients of mine in North Andover wanted exactly that -- to update their kitchen and keep their pickled-finish cabinets, which were in excellent condition.

The kitchen not only had pickled cabinets with plain white cabinet pulls, but also white Corian countertop, white backsplash tile, white 8-inch floor tiles and white appliances.

In addition to the cabinets, the homeowners also decided to keep the layout of the kitchen, which helped them further save on remodel costs since major plumbing and electrical work would not be required.

Not only did keeping the cabinets save money, it also saved one headache in the design process. Figuring out what color floor tiles and countertop would work with the pinkish tone of the cabinets would be the challenge.

Appliances and cabinet pulls would be updated to stainless steel. Being a larger kitchen, the floor could accommodate an 18-inch tile. Using a cabinet door as an in-store color reference, I selected four samples with gray and green tones.

The countertop would be the focal point of the kitchen, so the homeowners really wanted something fantastic. After looking at many options and samples, they chose Crema Bordeaux. Variations of grays, blacks, rose and pink tones would make a statement, pulling the pinkish cabinet finish together with the stainless appliances.

For the backsplash, a 6-by-12-inch subway tile of Classic Marble Pulpis Grey would bring up gray tones from the floor tile.

Once the granite slabs were ordered, the only major choice left was the template placement -- which portions of the slab would become the surface and which would be cut out for the sink and cooktop areas.

"He would never show up when he said he would. He would come up with an excuse every day, why he didn't show," Britt said.

Through text, Britt was promised a refund, but the refund never came, so she contacted me.

Even though the house was fairly new, the original builder did not save any scraps of siding, nor did he leave any indication of what manufacturer made the siding. This is a very common scenario with houses built on speculation... no spare parts and no info.

Vinyl siding is surprisingly easy to remove. I would dare to say that I could "undo" the siding on a 1500 square foot house in a day, two at most. Once the top-most piece has been removed to expose the nailing strip of the section below, it's just a matter of pulling nails.

Of course, the lip in question belongs to the siding panel above the section being replaced, as this upper panel covers the nails of the target section.

This notch makes it easy to insert the siding removal tool.

SEOUL, South Korea An Inspector Generals report has cited hundreds of potentially dangerous housing code violations, ranging from missing sprinkler systems to exposed copper wiring, in U.S. military housing in South Korea, although only 11 were considered serious.

Most of the violations were related to inadequate upkeep of housing facilities, according to the Oct. 28 report, which found that housing visits and inspections were not being conducted in accordance with established instructions and procedures.

Twelve percent of the occupied buildings at 13 U.S. Forces Korea military installations ranging from family housing to barracks and dormitories for unaccompanied servicemembers were reviewed during the IGs March 10 to April 24 inspections. The checks found 646 deficiencies in 277 units, mechanical rooms and common areas.

The 11 critical deficiencies included an out-of-service fire alarm system at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, which left the occupants of one building with no means of fire detection. Furnaces in two other buildings at the Seoul base were leaking heating oil onto an electric blower motor, posing a fire hazard.

At Camp Jackson, one building was not electrically grounded according to code, posing the possibility of electrocution. Four buildings at Camp Bonifas lacked carbon monoxide alarms.

An improperly bonded conductor at Camp Stanley posed a fire, shock and electrocution risk, and four buildings lacked carbon monoxide alarms.

Camp Humphreys had three fire or electrocution risks, including a building that was not grounded per code and an extension drop cord in another that was improperly wired. Energized copper wire was exposed in an elevator equipment room.

The 11 violations were deemed critical enough to require immediate attention; all have been corrected since the spring inspections or were expected to be completed last summer, according to correspondence from installation officials included in the IG report.

The health and safety of our service members and their families in Korea is a top priority, USFK said in an email. As a result, the affected service components have taken and continue to take corrective action.

Overall, the IG inspection found poor record keeping and overworked housing workers.
